缅北强奸

The 缅北强奸 College of Liberal Arts is proud to announce the 18th annual Interdisciplinary Colloquium, which will take place Tuesday, April 14 in Carter Hall, located in University Center West on campus. This event is open to the public at no charge.

This year鈥檚 theme, fear, invites participants to examine our complex ability to both overcome and embrace fear, for it is often in these vulnerable moments where we are the most afraid that we feel the most alive.  

鈥淓very spring, I look forward to the Interdisciplinary Colloquium and to the inventive ways that participants explore our chosen theme. This year鈥檚 theme resonates not only across campus scholarship but through life itself,鈥� says Dr. Alexandra Natoli, Assistant Professor of French and event organizer. 鈥淔ear is a universal emotion which all humans and animals experience. Although fear can be distressing, it can also be empowering, spurring us towards action. Facing our fears leads in turn to moments of growth and affirmation. I鈥檓 always thrilled to see a mixture of new and familiar faces at the Colloquium. It can be easy to feel siloed in academia; the colloquium reminds us of all we share as a campus community, creating bridges between the College of Liberal Arts and our students, friends and colleagues across campus."
